Can s/o please point me in the right direction? I have a brand new Xperia TL. I followed the directions on the All-In-One Readme thread to root the phone, which came with locked bootloaders. Then I tried flashing the rom- [AOKP][JB] Xperia T - KangXperiaProject - [milestone 1].
Then the phone turned off, and when I turned it on all that happened was the Sony boot logo came up, then a fuzzy/staticky screen with random colors, then the phone shuts off, and then turns on again, and then the same thing. The battery isn't removable so I can't do a battery pull.
I managed to get the phone into Flash mode for Flashtool, tried flashing a kernel, but nothing happened. I tried all the different key combos to get into recovery, but no dice. I was actually lucky that once it remained stable long enough to flash a kernel, but usually when it's connected to the comp it won't stay on long enough to do much of anything. I also tried accessing the phone with an ADB shell, but that won't read the phone.
I also searched and searched and searched for possible solutions, but can't seem to find any posts (on XDA or otherwise) that deal with this specific set of issues.
Any help would be tremendously appreciated!!
You cannot flash custom rooms that are not stock based with a locked bootloader.
That is because you cannot flash custom kennels with a locked bootloader.
Flash a stock ftf with flashtool to fix your phone.
To do a virtual battery pull then press and hold the power button and volume up button until the phone vibrates

How do I customise the signature on xda premium app?
Thanks for the info. I tried flashing a stock ftf (I think the LT30_7.0.A.3.195_kernel.ftf you provide in the readme thread), but then it just want back to bootlooping.
Is there a different one I should flash? Or is there something else I could do? Meanwhile, I'll try flashing again when I get home today.

I flashed the ftf again- the phone still bootloops, but sometimes it show an image of a phone and the triangle with the ! in the middle- which I know is Download Mode on my old phone (Samsung Captivate). Is this what's supposed to happen? If yes, what's the next step? If not, what else can I do?
Thanks so much gregbradley!

TL version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33744425&postcount=56
Thank you gregbradley and hkjr.
I was having trouble flashing an ftf b/c the phone kept shutting off in the middle of a flash. What I did was flash (the T version) piece-meal; I checked "Exclude" for all the components except the 1st, flashed, then checked "Exclude" for all except the 2nd, flashed, etc., and IT WORKED!!
Then I flashed the TL version ftf, rooted it, and all was good. Now it was time to flash a custom rom. I flashed recoba23's Xperia Curiosity V1.2 Rom (for locked bootloaders). That worked. Then I wanted to take a look at TiMiN8R's XperimenT rom. The phone told me that the file finished downloading. I thought it was a little smaller than indicated on the download page, but the phone said the download was complete. Flashed it. Then BRICK. Dunno if it's because the full file didn't download, but now ALL I get is the Sony splash screen (no bootloop, just stays like that). I can't get into recovery and I can't get the phone into flash mode, although the computer does recognize it when I plug it in and I can access the files on the phone.
Any ideas what's going on??
same problem please help =(
I too have the same problem, stuck at "SONY" screen can't go to recovery mode, can't connect to pc, i did the power+up volume button, turns off but if i turn it on same result stuck at sony... I followed this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020796 for locked bootloader, i have the att xperia TL.
I flashed the generic 7.0.A.1.303 ftf
Rooted using Bin4ry's method
Install CMW for locked bootloaders
Enter recovery, factory reset and flash the ROM(STOCK ROOTED 7.0.A.3.195)
and when im going to flash the flashable CMW, i cant find it in my ext sd.. i put it with stock rooted 7.0.A.3.195.zip and superuser.zip, it says "file not found" on recovery after i flashed the stock 7.0.A.3.195.zip so i decided to reboot.. and this happened. Is there a fix to this please help us :crying:
OK, I got my phone back up and running! For me, it just seemed to be a matter of playing around with the buttons and the plugging/unplugging the phone from the computer and/or charging it, and eventually it went into flash mode. I was able to flash stock kernel, root and apply CWM, then made sure that I downloaded the whole file for whichever ROM I wanted, flashed it, and all was good!
fatedcircle9, just try playing around with it. If you can't flash the new CWM from recovery right after you install the ROM, just reboot the phone, attach it to the computer, and install CWM like you did before. At least that's what worked for me....
Unsatisfied by the JB update of my xperia T, I downloaded flashtool and the ftf file to revert to ICS.
Procedure apparently went good, but at the restart the phone is looping on boot: I see 'sony', then 'xperia', then the animation starts but after a little it restarts again and again.
Probably my fault was to leave the 'wipe data' option unchecked.
How can I fix? I can't unplug the battery so I'm not able to go to flash mode and try again...

Press and hold the volume up and power button together
After 10 seconds it will vibrate.
Keep holding it untill it vibrates another 3 times.
Then enter flashmode and flash it properly this time

Even my Xperia T is in booloop.... I flashed many times, many kernels but none are working. It shows Sony logo (not even showing
xperia). It stays the same in every rom. The phone was purchased from UK... Any help would be appreciated...

If you have not unlocked the bootloader then just repair the phone using pccompanion.
What exactly have you flashed? Have you rooted? have you unlocked the bootloader?

After the phone went into boot loop, i unlocked the bootloader. then i tried SE tool Emma to downgrade to ICS, tried your kernel as well as more 2-3 kernels in combinations but nothing worked. I used flash tool and flashed several ICS and JB ftfs custom as well as modded but none worked yet.... It's still the same, reboots after the logo... In older ICS, it reboots after Xperia screen while in other FW, it reboots just after the sony logo...
Is this enough information to figure out the problem? What is the right comibnation of kernel and FW to start this phone ? It was purchased in UK and came with ICS....It was upgraded to JB without any problem and one day it just went into boot loop surprisingly....
Thank you for your time...
Search for the relock bootloader ftf in the dev section.
Flash that in flashtool (not emma)
Then run the repair software un pccompanion

Did as you said. Flashed the relocked bootloader through flashtool (not emma)... Used the PC companion and did a "recover" procedure...At the end it said "Xperia T was updated with 9.1.A.1.140"
The problem is still the same. It restarts after the sony logo....
What is the next procedure to try ?

That's is not good. After a pccompanion repair everything should be fine.
what was the last thing you flashed before the problem started?

Flashed nothing... Before the problem....the phone was updated to JB..It worked for 2 months and then suddenly one day, it freezes, when restarted ,it went into boot loop. That's what bugging me. The flash mode works fine, the quickboot works fine..i can flash any files without any problem, but with any rom or default FW, it restarts after the logo, so i wanna know the possibilities of the problem...
Is there any way with which i can fully format the internal drive and then flash the FW ? Is there a possibly of corrupt internal drive ?
I have had the same Problem, even with repair function of PCC. Only thing working for me was flashing original JB tft with flash tool. After that it bootet up normaly and everything was working again. (Bootloop stayed with ics tft, only jb tft worked)
I flashed jb tft->bootloader relock->jb tft

To flash a ftf file you need to go into flash mode volume down green led and flashtool will do the rest
You are going into fastest which is used for kernels

Good good just to remember in future if you phone reboots on sony logo it is a kernel problem if it reboots on xperia screen it is a system problem just to keep that in mind and if you are on a stock rom then they are ODEX so you will need to find mods which will work not DEODEX other wise you will get bootloop

Yes, but are you talking about Existenz v6 and about update package version v6.5?
When yes, go to recovery, select clean to install new rom, wipe cache, dalvik cahe and install Existenz v6. Then reboot and download Existenz v6.6 (latest update, which fixes many bugs) and flash it. Flashing without wiping should work, but i recommend to wipe cache and dalvik

Hey,
today I´ve rooted my Xperia Z (1.434) with locked bootloader with this instruction: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsh51O1ImMM
Everything worked fine. Some hours later I wanted to install CWM and the 18 toggles mod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2208237). This also worked (ca. 30min). Later I installed some colors (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2253253&highlight=reboot) and now the phone reboots every 30 sec. I tried to flash the stock toggles, so everything would be stock. But it doesn´t solved the problem. Now I tried the TWRP recovery, but it also doesn´t solve the problem.
Any ideas?
Installed twrp and flashed doomkernel while the bootloader is still locked ( I know this is stupid )
Now the phone won't boot up, but holding down the volume down button and connecting it to pc via usb still works I think.
Going to flash a stock xperia z ftf to restore this.

I tried to flash the 4.2.2 update to my xperia because i didnt want to have to wait for my carrier to release it. I used flashtool but i flashed the wrong ftf file. now my device will not boot up past the Sony logo screen and it keeps restarting it and each time it only gets to the sony screen. I have tried to flash a different ftf file and the phone connects to flashtool but when it is going to start flashing the device switches on and thus is dissconnected from flashtool. it is the c6603 version and it is rooted but not bootloader unlocked. any suggestions?

If you hold power button alongside volume up until the device vibrates, it should turn the phone off. Now it won't reboot anymore, and you'll be able to boot in flashmode.

This forum is for Xperia Z, not Z Ultra
Anyways, you'll need to give us some more information. Did you flash your divece? Is it rooted? Which software are you using etc.
If your bootloader is still locked you could try to repair your phone using Sony PC Companion.
If not please report back.
